Welcome to papywizard project

Introduction

papywizard is a panohead control software, mainly developped for the Merlin/Orion astronomic mount, but usable for other panoheads with small effort.

papywizard is entirely written in python and, although developped under linux, should runs under many platformes (Windows/WindowsCE, MacOS, Unix...). It is especially designed to run on small plateforms, like PDA. Unfortunally, my tests under PocketPC showed that it is very difficult to develop on it. I bought a used Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, and successfully ran papywizard :o) So I concentrate my efforts on maemo plateform... Another future solution will be to use OpenMoko plateform, with the recently available FreeRunner cellphone.

This project is developped in collaboration with Kolor company, which develops Autopano Pro, a great stitcher software. Thanks to Alexandre for its support!

Enjoy!

Related discussions

The project started on the Autopano Pro forum, where someone has bring the idea to use an astronomic mount for panoramic shots. The very low price of the Merlin/Orion mount made it the perfect candidate. The only things to do were an electronic interface, and a little software to drive it!
